Chapter 53: How Does Bernadette Die? (Wednesday/Nine)
Byam, in the underground workshop of Aroma Manor.
As the ground softened like a swamp, two bear heads emerged from the ground one after another.
Soon, Abner released his "transformation", put on the clothes he had taken off before, and then looked in the direction of Edwina - she had already arranged her shirt and trousers.
After taking the cloak handed back by the other party, Abner looked at the wall clock and found that it was already evening, so he invited Edwina to have dinner with him.
Edwina also wanted to talk to Abnerdo about "The God of Luck" and "Afternoon Town", so she gladly accepted the invitation.
Therefore, the servants of Fragrance Manor immediately became busy.
Before he became a demigod, Abner would have to cover up when he came back to eat to avoid being discovered by "teleporting", but it doesn't matter now. Whether it is the strength of the demigod or the status of a hereditary noble, he has less A lot of worries.
Of course, after sending Edwina back to the "Golden Dream" the next morning, Abner still gave "hints" to the servants to make them forget that he had ever returned.
As for the accounts that were inconsistent, Abner also paid to smooth them out. Unless someone came to investigate specifically, it would be difficult to find any clues.
After that, Abner was a little exhausted from discussing knowledge and secrets all night long, so he took a nap in his bedroom. When he got up again, it was already noon on Sunday.
After leaving the Aroma Manor and buying some special fruits for lunch on the streets of Bayam, Abner used the secret technique of "Spirit Walking" developed by himself to travel along the islands to the very center of the Fusac Empire. The colony to the east, the capital of the Carcas Islands, Porto Nas.
However, as soon as he walked out of a hidden corner, Abner saw a guy who was suspected of being a local gang member took out several cans from his pocket, opened the lids, and threw them into the middle of the road.
"Not good!" Abner, who had seen the power of "canned wolf fish" when he and Xio went to sea for the first time, immediately put a layer of blisters on his face and "simulated" the ability to breathe underwater. , thus avoiding smelling the unspeakable fishy smell.
Next, the great "prophet" Mr. Abner Braine, who was able to calm down in the land abandoned by God, actually ran away from this "battlefield" with a rather awkward pace.
After turning two streets and coming to the scene, as bursts of noisy Fusac language reached his ears, Abner removed the blisters on his face and took a breath of "fresh" air.
After appreciating the city's different styles of customs and customs, Abner took out 4 silver, called a carriage, and rushed to the "Lodal" bar.
——The silver is the currency of the Fusac Empire. The lower part is the kopeck and the upper part is the golden horn. They maintain a very user-friendly decimal system, making the conversion very easy.
After arriving at "Lodar", a bar where adventurers in the Cargas Islands were relatively concentrated, Abner did not enter it. Instead, he stopped by the bounty wall at the door of the bar and watched.
The front row of bounty figures has not changed much from a few months ago, and there are only two that slightly attracted Abner's attention.
One is "Lieutenant General of Disease" Tracy. Her bounty has been increased this month. This is due to her revenge on some members of the "Celestial Sect".
——Although the main members of the "Celestial Sect" have been annihilated by the "Church of Storms" and the Loen military, since the members of this sect include many rich people, dignitaries, and even nobles, the punishment for these people is often Stop there... After all, they were just for indulgence and did not really believe in the evil god, so the church would no longer pursue them.
Ever since "Owen" was trapped on the small island on the west side of the southern continent and the "White Saint" consciously escaped control, Tracy returned to the sea and quickly took back the "Black Saint" from her mother. Death,” purging her crew of betrayers.
After that, Tracy, who had held back the evil fire, vented her anger on the remnants of the "Celestial Sect" who had hunted her down and tried to use her body.
Abner also turned a blind eye to this, although she had reserved some means when treating Tracy. As long as she dared to kill innocent people indiscriminately, she would make her taste life worse than death. .
However, considering that the members of the "Celestial Sect" are not good people, even if they do not believe in the "Mother Tree of Desire", they are still full of sins, so they acquiesce to Tracy's revenge.
Of course, Tracy herself didn't know this.
Besides Tracy, the other bounty Abner has his eye on is Miss Gwen's.
After this lady successfully escaped from "Vice Admiral Twilight" and the Intis Navy, the bounty had reached 13,000 Firkin, which was 8,700 pounds converted into gold pounds. This figure was already very close to that of the weaker pirate general.
The former "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Qilingos's single country bounty was only 10,000 gold pounds.
"With the 'Dawn Knight' trait I gave her, Miss Gwen should be able to take a step forward soon. After all, controlling the 'ship girl' suit will be of great help to her digestion of the 'weapon master'..."
"Haha, she was still looking forward to Edwina at the beginning, hoping to become an explorer like the 'Iceberg Lieutenant General', but she didn't expect that her wish would be realized so soon.
"With the Black Throne, she may not be able to become the new pirate general."
Just when Abner was sighing, a well-dressed lady opened the carriage door and walked out of a carriage that had just stopped on the roadside.
She has beautiful dark golden hair. Although her eyebrows are still a little immature, she is delicate and beautiful. She has a well-proportioned figure. She wears a close-fitting purple dress with "starlight" embellishments on it, which makes her look both mysterious and sexy. noble.
If she hadn't been shrouded by some kind of mysterious spirit, causing people around her to subconsciously ignore her, her appearance and dress would have definitely become the focus of the bar, attracting onlookers.
This lady is naturally Abner's good friend in this life, Miss Jane Grant Miranda, a descendant of "Death Archon" Vicente.
Before Abner left Blue Mountain Island, he summoned Jane's messenger through the "Bronze Whistle" and informed the other party of the meeting place in the "Lodar" bar. Then he compared his "foot strength" with the tall bone messenger.
Now it seems that my "spirit walking" is faster?
Well, not necessarily...after all, it looked like Jane had put a lot of effort into her makeup, which probably took a lot of time.
After muttering a few words in his mind, Abner smiled and greeted Jane while others looked at him like he was crazy.
"Abner, you're here, long time no see." Jane's eyes were bright, and then she looked around and found that many people were looking at Abner saying hello to the air, so she pulled him towards the carriage, and at the same time He said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's get in the car and talk."
"Okay." Abner did not refuse and followed Jane on the alchemy carriage that could travel through the spirit world and enter the underground area where Klaus's version of "Floating City" was located.
Different from sitting opposite each other when entertaining Klein last time, Jane sat directly next to Abner this time and used the heating device in the car to help him make a cup of "Filmer Coffee".
After learning that Jane was actually a descendant of his own Vicente, Abner's feelings for her were actually somewhat complicated, so although they were still close on the surface, there was still some distance in his heart.
So, after a brief exchange of greetings, Abner talked about the main topic of his visit this time.
"Do you want to visit the 'Floating City'?" Jane thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Abner, although this is not a problem, I still want to confirm what your purpose is?"
She didn't think Abner came to see the floating city just for tourism.
"Elemental Dawn" and "Mysterious Queen" are very good to her, and she doesn't want any conflict between them.
Am I like the kind of bandit who snatches good things when he sees them? Abner, who guessed what Jane was thinking, complained in his heart, then he picked up the coffee and took a sip, and then replied with a leisurely smile:
"I want to buy it!"
"Ah?" Jane's mouth gradually opened wide, and she didn't know how to reply for a while.
…
The sea area of the ruins of the God War, aboard the Future.
After encountering the "Immortal King" Agaritu, but being left speechless by the opponent's U-turn and escape, Klein just returned to his room when he saw Bernadette standing in front of the window with her back to him again.
The "Queen of Mystery" first told some information about the "devil" and told Klein that the so-called "Fountain of Youth" was just a trap and a scam, and was part of the ritual.
Then, Bernadette turned her body, and her gaze from behind the fine black gauze looked into Gehrman Sparrow's eyes.
According to the principle of equivalent exchange, is it my turn to provide information? Klein considered it for two seconds:
"According to the limited diary and some of my findings, Emperor Russell encountered extremely serious difficulties in his later years, which forced him to have the idea of trying crazy behavior.
"Well, his pollution probably comes from the evil god 'Primordial Moon'."
In this regard, he is very calm, because the diary he has obtained so far does not reveal what Emperor Russell wanted to do in his later years, what kind of difficulties he encountered, and what crazy behaviors he did.
But Abner really discovered a lot of Russell's crazy behaviors... The craziest thing is that he actually wanted to be Abner's son!
While Klein was complaining in his mind, he was also expecting Bernadette to give Emperor Russell the diary of the critical period to "Star Admiral" Cattleya, and then give it to Mr. "The Fool" for interpretation.
"Queen of Mystery" Bernadette was silent for a few seconds, and then asked: "Where have you found traces of him?"
"Madam, do you know the 'Miracle City' Levished?" Klein thought for a few seconds and said in a deliberately thoughtful tone.
"I know...can you tell me where that city is?" Bernadette asked in a soft voice.
"This requires consent." Klein shook his head, thinking that Abner would not refuse. Who doesn't want to know what the "Queen of Mystery" will think after entering the "Hall of Honesty"?
"I understand..." Bernadette seemed to have misunderstood. After nodding slightly, as the sunlight outside shone in, the queen who spanned the five seas suddenly separated and shattered like a pile of soap bubbles. Disappeared.
The light reflected by the foam is divided into different colors, creating a fairy tale-like dreamy scene in the room.
